Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘In order to extinguish the lien of a mortgage by a tender of the amount due at maturity and its refusal by the mortgagee, the tender must be made by a person who has a right to pay the debt; such as the debtor himself, or the holder of the title to the property mortgaged,, or the holder of some subsequent lien having an equity of redemption. The tender of the debt by a stranger does not extinguish the lien of the mortgage.’ ””
